Final Artwork and Extras Unveiled for DVD and Blu-Ray Release of ONLY GOD FORGIVES

Lionsgate Home Entertainment and Icon Films are pleased to announce that Nicolas Winding Refn‘s mesmerising masterpiece ONLY GOD FORGIVES starring Ryan Gosling will be released on Blu-ray, DVD, Steelbook from Monday December 2nd.

Reuniting Winding Refn (Pusher) and Gosling (The Place Beyond the Pines), for the first time since the phenomenal success of their 2011 collaboration DRIVE, alongside a spellbinding performance from Kristen Scott Thomas, ONLY GOD FORGIVES is a thrilling journey through Bangkok’s criminal underworld.

Julian (Gosling) runs a boxing club as a front for a drugs operation. He has everything he could want for and is respected in the criminal underworld though, deep inside, he feels empty. When Julian’s brother is murdered, his mother (played remarkably by Kristin Scott Thomas) – the head of a powerful criminal organisation – arrives in Bangkok to collect her son’s body. Furious with grief, she dispatches Julian to find his killers and ‘raise hell’. The stage is set for a bloody journey of betrayal and vengeance towards a final confrontation and the possibility of redemption.

Hailed by The Guardian as “mesmeric, mad, brutal and brilliant”, ONLY GOD FORGIVES is a twisted, breathtaking, neon-drenched fairytale that you’ll never forget.

To celebrate the Blu-ray & DVD release of ONLY GOD FORGIVES,Lionsgate UK and Icon Films teamed-up with EMPIRE, to offer their readers the chance to design the film’s official Steelbook artwork.

Proving to be one of EMPIRE’s most popular competitions ever, the standard of entries was incredibly high. Winding Refn was blown-away by the effort and the lengths that fans had gone to with their designs.

The extras confirmed to appear on the home entertainments release of ONLY GOD FORGIVES are as follows:

I love prosthetic effects, stop-motion animation and gore, but most of all I love a good story!
I adore B-movies and exploitation films in many of their guises and also have a soft spot for creature features.
I review a wide range of media including movies, TV series, books and videogames. I'm a massive fan of author Hunter S. Thompson and I enjoy various genre of videogames with Kingdom Hearts and Harvest Moon two of my all time favs.
Currently playing: GTA Online & Mortal Kombat 11
